UPDATE I decided to cancel my order of HBU44 at Solid Signal (since it was backordered) and went to Radio Shack and bought me a AntennaCraft Long Range Outdoor Antenna #C490 which was in stock at the store last Friday, and two days ago it was installed. Right now, it's currently pointed to the direction of the Greenville, SC market towers which is 17-97 miles from my house and I've bought a 12 dB inline amplifier. The last time I scan, I got every TV station in this market except WLOS 13 (ABC) which has an inadequate signal (Grade B) unfortunately. Yesterday i've picked up many Charlotte, NC and Columbia, SC stations over the air from wee hours to sunrise. I've got WUNF 33 (PBS/UNC-TV) OTA many times which is 97 miles from my area.
Will a preamplifier help me get WLOS 13 OTA or not? I've only pick up WLOS 13 once late Monday night then signal went out. I've also having trouble getting WGGS 16 and I've got it once last night. I wish WLOS 13's signal wasn't inadequate.
I'm still using the Tropo forecasts at
Tropospheric Ducting Forecast for VHF & UHF Radio & TV so I'll have a chance to pick up distant signals OTA for temporary time.
Here's my map of available OTA signals in my area. I didn't mentioned the feed of my antenna height.
What do you think? Thanks
